Distribution in the Perspective of the Al-Qur’an

Abstract

This study aims to analyze economic verses related to the concept of distribution from the Qur’anic perspective. Employing a qualitative approach, the research explores the contextual meaning of distribution through primary sources, including Qur’anic verses and their interpretations. Data were gathered through textual analysis of relevant verses and supported by literature reviews. In economic terms, distribution refers to the process by which products or wealth are delivered from producers to consumers at the right time and place. Within the Islamic economic framework, distribution is more than a logistical function; it embodies principles of justice, equality, and social responsibility. The Qur’an emphasizes that wealth should circulate equitably and must not remain concentrated among the elite. The findings highlight that Surah Al-Hashr (59:7), Al-Baqarah (2:195), and Al-Isra (17:26) provide clear guidance on distribution principles rooted in Islamic teachings. These verses underline the importance of fair distribution to promote social welfare and reduce economic disparity, aligning with the overarching objectives of Islamic law.
